Why We Love the Classic Shoyu Ramen
The Classic Shoyu Ramen is a timeless bowl featuring a rich chicken broth, melt-in-your-mouth chashu (rolled pork belly), fresh scallions, narutomaki (fish cake with a signature swirl), and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The magic of shoyu ramen lies in its soy sauce-base, which gives the broth its deep, savory complexity and darker hue. This dish is an ideal introduction to ramen for first-timers, offering a balance of flavors that aren’t too overpowering but still capture the essence of traditional ramen.
A Brief History of Shoyu Ramen
Shoyu ramen originated in Tokyo in the early 20th century, making it one of the oldest, most well-known and widely enjoyed ramen styles in Japan. The use of soy sauce as a base adds a depth of umami that differentiates it from other styles like tonkotsu (pork bone) or miso ramen. Over time, shoyu ramen has become a staple in ramen shops across Japan and beyond, loved for its rich yet approachable flavor.
It’s a style of ramen that has evolved, but it’s comforting and familiar taste remains a favorite among ramen enthusiasts worldwide.
